ARIYALUR: The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) technique is gaining popularity in 'kuruvai' cultivation in Perambalur and Ariyalur districts, S. Sivakumar, Joint Director of Agriculture (in-charge) said here on Saturday. Mr. Sivakumar said it had been planned to bring 1,000 hectares under kuruvai cultivation - 600 hectares in Ariyalur and 400 in Perambalur district. But, nearly 1,903 hectares had been brought under 'kuruvai'. As for the SRI technique, he said a target of 600 hectares was planned in the ‘kuruvai' crop. So far, 652 hectares - 480 in Ariyalur and 172 in Perambalur districts - have been brought under cultivation. He also said the sugarcane growers were also responsive to the precision cultivation technique. He said under the Seed Village concept, additional storage godowns are being constructed at seven Agricultural Extension Centres, each in Veppanthattai, Veppur, Ariyalur, Sendurai, Tirumanur, Andimadam and T.Pazhur.
